The Second Vatican Council
The most recent ecumenical council. Its documents are in copyright, so this library links to them rather than hosting them.
1962–1965
Rome, the Vatican
- Convoked by
- Pope John XXIII; concluded under Pope Paul VI
- Why this page is short
- the 1913 encyclopedia that sources every other council on this site predates it by half a century, and the council's documents are under copyright (Libreria Editrice Vaticana). The library states the two facts it can state and links to the texts.
These facts as given by the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913), "Councils" PD
